Mornings are for wandering the winding avenues of the old town and admiring the street art, visiting historic buildings and picking up souvenirs. Afternoons are spent at the beach, where you can take your pick of buzzing resorts, quiet coves and wild stretches. In the evening, tuck in to the world-famous Spanish dish that originated in Valencia – paella.

Compared with fellow Spanish cities like Barcelona and Madrid, Valencia’s under-the-radar status has stopped prices from rocketing. There’s plenty to do on a budget too. The oldest part of the city is an easily walkable labyrinth of cobblestone streets, filled with boutiques, time-stamped buildings and street art. You can visit Valencia Cathedral for a small entry fee – it’s home to the chalice recognised by the Vatican as the Holy Grail used at the Last Supper. Don’t miss the City of Arts and Sciences building, which is free to wander around, and one of Valencia’s best sights. You can also get a discount on entry to the museums inside by picking up a Valencia Tourist Card.
There are several ways to get to Valencia’s city centre from the airport, including the bus, metro and taxi. A cab is quickest, taking around 20 minutes depending on traffic, while the metro and bus take 25 to 30. If you want to see more than just Valencia, hire a car with British Airways and you’ll get great benefits, round-the-clock customer support, with all mandatory charges included, and you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.
Beautiful weather, plenty of history and a short flight time from the UK makes Valencia the ideal location for a getaway. Whether you’re enjoying fresh, juicy fruit from the Central Market, wandering the streets of the old fisherman’s village, or checking out the Silk Exchange, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you won’t be short of things to do. Make time to chill out on the city’s beaches, enjoy some authentic Spanish tapas, and take things easy.
